Our stakeholder engagement process
Our stakeholder engagement process
Our stakeholder engagement process is driven by senior management, informed by a broad range of stakeholders across the North West and owned and delivered by colleagues across our business.
Working together is the core of our company purpose – engaging with our stakeholders and listening and acting on what we hear is vital. We know that we can only be successful when we deliver outcomes that are valued by the communities we serve.
Stakeholder engagement is embedded and tracked throughout our business and enables everyone to identify and act on opportunities. This individual effort is supported by a structured programme of workshops, engagement events and advisory panels, helping us to engage with stakeholders, businesses and communities. These give us opportunities to seek feedback from stakeholders on specific subjects such as connections, consumer vulnerability, future network innovation trials and future business planning priorities.
